Technical Tip: Error 'Can not create query, check_create_cmf_query, firewall, and ippool_grp' is Displayed on FortiGate Console

Before upgrading to v7.4.3 or higher and during subsequent device reboots, FortiGate may print the following error on the console screen frequently with no impact on operations.

Enabling PCI resources...Done.
Zeroing IRQ settings...Done.
Verifying PIRQ tables...Done.

Can not create query, check_create_cmf_query, firewall, ippool_grp, pid=3862(cmdbsvr_iprope)

These errors occur on platforms with the Hardware-accelerated carrier-grade NAT feature, such as the FortiGate-1800F/1801F (without a hyperscale license), only during upgrades or reboots, when the configuration is reinstalled.

This issue has been resolved in v7.4.8 and v7.6.1.
